Vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi says the government "have not made any decisions" on whether to give 12 to 15-year-olds the coronavirus jab.
Speaking to Trevor Phillips On Sunday, Mr Zahawi said parents of children in this age group will need to give their consent if a rollout takes place.
He also confirmed that vaccine passports will be introduced for large venues - and it is hoped this will prevent further closures this winter.
